height V's weight. - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Techknow · 07-11-2005, 09:07 PM

hi guy's just reding through a few post's and i've noticed a few people on here have been going on about height and weight, i'm 6'4", and about 15+ stone, tiny tom say's he's quite small, but the guy look's great as do you all so what's everyone's height v's weight, do smaller people get bigger and is it harder for taller people to gain the mass that our smaller compadre's do, anyone got any theory on this.
any tall guy's out there who have gained really well and how did you do it ??
And did you find it hard.
and what do the smaller guy's and gal's ( sorry lauren )

think.

i'm 6'4", currently weight approx 105 kg (16.5 stone). heaviest i have been was just under 19 stone - ate a lot, did a lot of protein powders, and bulk just piled on me.

at the moment am slowly gaining weight and size on a basic push / pull / legs 5x5 programme, just doing compounds. it's working far better in terms of strength and size gain than any of the programmes i have done involving training more days, more sets, fewer compounds etc.

I'm 6'3 and would give you my left bollock to be 16.5 stone!
I am struggling to hit 12 stone.
I think it may have something to do with my job which doesn't help, 12 hour shifts, month of days then a month of nights, nightshift kills my apetite, but I am DETERMINED to put on weight and going to reach my goal of 13.5 stone by the time i'm 26. i'm 24 now by the way. lets see how I go!

Stu, at 6'4 and 105kg I imagine you would look one intimidating motha!
any pics?

Dave.

I'm 6'4" and 112kg atm

>>> but IMO i don't look big, i kinda look slim which i hate, but others disagree

Maybe i have heavy bones? Is there such a thing as having heavy bones? How would you know if you did have heavy bones?

i'm 5'11" and 13 st 8lb, wanna hit 15st and i'll be happy, i stay very lean so at 15st i'll be ripped

**Pscarb** · 31-07-2006, 11:27 PM

it isnt easy for any body to gain muscle no matter the height i am 5'5" and 217lbs but it has taken me 18yrs to get here....

those who say they cannot gain weight are not eating enough calories simple as that...

I'm 5'4" and 224 lbs 14 % bf

Jay 69 · 01-08-2006, 12:53 PM

i'm 6ft 6inches when i started out about 8-9mths ago i was a small 11stone i now weigh just over 13 but because of my height i still think i look slim everyone else says i'm big,but i wont be happy till i'm sitting at 18 stone many years from now. I do find it very hard to put on the weight when i was on my last cycle i was at 14 stone just over and thought i look really good but have lost that due to it being just water (gutted).I wish it was easier to eat.

**Pscarb** · 01-08-2006, 12:58 PM

if you cannot eat the extra calories drink them....

rayvonn · 29-08-2006, 12:37 PM

Hi

I am 5ft9 and 91kg 14 1/2 stone looking to drop bodyfat and get to 16 stoneish(allowing myself 2 years for this), ive started to clean up my diet and quit drinking and im already leaning up from the pics I posted a couple of months ago.
The people of this board are great and have given me much advice and encouragement, this has helped me progress rather than learn from mistakes.
Listen to the experts follow thier advice and youll grow mate.
good luck eat or drink your protein and above all :lift:

cats milk · 29-08-2006, 02:12 PM

i remember reading someone that for every inch in height you should be about 4 lbs heavier (no training). is this about right?

so if i was 6 ft 6 i would be another 36 lbs?

rubduckofdeath · 12-03-2007, 10:38 PM

I've started training fairly recently and I'm just under 12 stone at 5'10. Hoping to reach 13 stone in the next 12 months.

ALake · 12-03-2007, 11:07 PM

I am 6 ft and only weigh about 160 pounds. I am 21 and wondering when I will fill out naturally if ever. Although, since I started training a couple of weks ago I am feeling my T-shirt getting smaller! :beer1:

**Nytol** · 12-03-2007, 11:31 PM

I'm 6'1" and about 17st4lb (Approx 10% BF), I think shoter people just look bigger as a stone on their frame makes a lot more impact than it does on mine.

But I do agree with what PS carb says, one of my biggest downfalls is not eating enough, I have a poor appitite, and dont force enough food down often enough.
